MOVING PICTURES HELP DETECTIVES
Rudolph Blumenthal, said to be one of the cleverest criminals in the country, has been captured between Long Beach and Los Angeles through the agency of the moving pictures taken of the training quarters of Tommy Burns at Long Beach three months ago.
To show as a preliminary to the main fight, Miles Brothers photographed the eager crowd which gathered around the out-door training stand of Tommy Burns.
Rudolph Blumenthal was in this crowd, and when the pictures were shown in Chicago three detectives who had Blumenthal's features stamped upon their memory recognized him. They immediately set out for Long Beach and captured the man at a house ten miles north of there.
